Sustainable energies for climate resilient municipal development in Armenia (SE4Resilience) Many Armenian municipalities face energy challenges, which include the provision of public services, heating costs for kindergartens, cultural and other public facilities, street lighting and the management of drinking water and wastewater. High energy prices due to mostly imported fossil fuels such as gas, oil and coal or nuclear power are a burden on small businesses and poor households. Some of these homes use wood, dried dung or straw for heating purposes. These practices reduce the capacity of forests and soils to store greenhouse gases and water. The climate resilience of communities is jeopardised by the inefficient use of resources and the potential to reduce emissions remains untapped. Objective Renewable energies are used to provide an affordable, reliable and environmentally friendly energy supply to social institutions, small and medium-sized business and vulnerable households. This advances climate-resilient and resource-efficient development in Armenia. |
